Business challenge
- Two 'hot' virus alerts in recent years made the festival organizers very aware of the need to get a powerful and reliable antivirus solution with central and remote deployment and administration.
Technology solution
- Sophos Anti-Virus was chosen because of ease of remote deployment and central administration of the software on the desktops.
- Sophos's suite of administration tools allow the festival's IT department to monitor the desktops continuously to ensure continuous protection, regardless of who the user is.
- Protection is automatically updated several times a day with Sophos's latest virus identities, even on mobile or remote machines that are not continuously linked to the network.
Business results
- The knowledge that the festival won't suffer the chaos caused by another serious virus attack, and Sophos's inclusive 24/7 support, is invaluable to the organizers. They also expect to increase the number of core mail servers and possibly add virtual domain support in the future.
